I really don't see much allusions to being a sellout. I see more allusions to the fact that even though Gaga claims to be bisexual(something that I'd take with a grain of salt, anyway), it's a group of gay people who feel exploited by her adoption as the 'queen of queers'.
To be honest, the majority of gay culture exposed through the media is the type that fits it's own stereotype to the point of unintentional self parody. Not being gay myself, I have massive respect for any demographic that says "don't stereotype me, and mindlessly service me". Kind of glad to finally see the backlash - even if small - to Gaga's flagrant commercial exploitation of the group.
As for being a sellout. I don't know what she could have sold in the first place. She seemed more a floundering gimmick musician who benefited from the economic merits of a relationship(well documented, and confirmed) with an established record producer acquiring massive amounts of money, and instant exposure. But, that's another tale for another day...

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
